Re: Need sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset
Hello Warren/Polytropon, Thanks a lot for the information. As Polytropon stated, xorg.conf is generally not needed nowadays. So I just did a startx and things worked out fine. However, this behaviour is more Windowish than Unixish. I would like to remember the -configure option for my own sake. Thanks again to you and Polytropon.

Need sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset
Hello All, I just installed FreeBSD-8.0-i386 on my office system. I can't find anything like the xf86cfg/xf86config tools for configuring X that used to come with FreeBSD earlier. The only utility I could find is xorg-edit, but this is nowhere as user-friendly as the earlier tools. Can somebody please send me a sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express chipset (384 MB video RAM) and a PNP Dell LCD monitor which is happiest @ (1440X900 resolution/ 32-bit colour / 60 Hz refresh) in Windows ? The keyboard and mouse are standard USB. I assume the default file location remains unchanged : /etc/X11/xorg.conf Thanks for any help Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

They do not longer exist. The X command (to start X) has the option -configure; it creates xorg.conf.new in the current directory. This file can be the basis of further customizing. Keep in mind that - with modern hardware - you usually don't need xorg.conf anymore.

The keyboard and mouse are standard USB. Just run X -configure and you should have one. :-) I assume the default file location remains unchanged : /etc/X11/xorg.conf It's one of the valid locations, so: yes. For a better explaination than mine, refer to the excellent documentation in the FreeBSD handbook, ch. 5.4, to be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
